Wow, this is great! so how much do you guys think of this LW research can benefit Generations PC? I'm guessing by mounds considering that LW and SGPC share similarities.

Not really at all honestly. If anything it's had the most benefit on Sonic 06/Colors modding, since they all use the same offset table format, which Dario and I cracked from looking at the Lost World files. That opens the door for a lot of Sonic 06/Colors mods, which led to this:

As far as Generations is concerned there isn't really anything in here that helps.

Aww, thats a shame. Console modding doesn't interest me too much, its a cool concept but unlike a PC you have to have a modded console and its not very open or user friendly which leaves the amount of people who can do it down to a limited number.

So, question to which the answer is probably no. But would it be at all feasible to back port wisp powers to Sonic Generations, or if not that, Sonic Colors (and vice versa)? Obviously some wouldn't work like the rhythm one (but who would miss that), but Eagle in Colors or Hover in Generations could be kinda fun.

You'd need the source for both games to do that without spending months to years deconstructing the game. It's not as simple as injecting the resources.

Ah. You see I wasn't sure how that worked in Colors or Lost World, so I thought it could be theoretically possible. Then again if source editing was an option someone would have tweaked Classic Sonic significantly long ago.

basically, you can port assets (models, textures, sounds, music, animations) and you can't port code (gimmicks, objects, physics behavior) without doing way too much work. most port projects you see just move large amounts of assets from one game to another.

Does Sonic Lost World have any models for other "typical" Modern Sonic gimmicks? (like, Springboards (Jump Ramps? I don't know exactly what to call them), Dash Rings, Rainbow Rings, stuff like that?) I still don't have the game yet, but in all the playthroughs & time attacks & whatnot I've seen, I just realized that those gimmicks are notably absent here. Unless I'm missing something terribly obvious?

As far as unused content is concerned, there's a HUD texture that references Yacker, the wisp from Sonic Colors. There also seems to be assets for the Quake wisp, which is only in the 3DS version. (Would post a picture, but I don't have the model viewing stuff; maybe Dario can take one tomorrow.) Aside from that, we haven't seen anything, though I dunno that any of us have really looked.

If you're interested in what object models it has though, these are all the models in the CommonObject pacs:
